Testing, Quality, and Inspection Applications
Industrial Automation for Testing, Quality, and Inspection
Product quality is synonymous with reputation. As a manufacturer, you know that precise, trustworthy, and repeatable testing/inspection is necessary for meeting production standards and satisfying end users. The challenge then isn’t if you should automate these critical processes, but in finding an integration partner with the expertise and experience needed to design a solution able to deliver results you can trust.
As an automation solutions integrator, Cross Company has been solving these challenges since our first automation projects in the 1950s. We’ve seen the evolution of the manufacturing world first-hand and our team of experienced automation engineers understands the complexities of modern quality control, whether that’s testing, inspection, or anything else. Cross can provide solutions at every level, from individual sensors to fully-integrated automation solutions. Our goal is to provide you with the solution that’s right for your application.
At Cross, we transform your manual testing and inspection process into seamlessly integrated automation solutions.

Enhance Your Quality Control with an Integrated Solution From Cross
Automating a testing, quality, or inspection process is about much more than just moving a part in front of a camera. It’s also about trusting the data you receive. A testing or quality system that doesn’t provide repeatable, accurate measurements can even be worse than no system at all. This is where Cross Company offers a unique advantage that sets us apart from many other testing automation integrators. Our expertise isn’t just in automation, it’s also rooted in decades of experience as a leader in precision measurement and calibration. Meaning we can ensure the data you’re collecting is accurate every time as well as providing supporting calibration services.
We understand that the right automation solution isn’t always a multi-axis industrial robot. Effective automation for your application may be a custom-designed fixture with integrated sensors. Or an intelligent vision system. Or even a smart sub-assembly able to be integrated into your existing line. We work to understand your goals and your process to provide the right automation for your application.
Cross automation for testing, quality, and inspection solutions are also able to gather valuable data on the state of your production, allowing you to identify areas for improvement, optimize production, and enhance overall efficiency.
